From the Roa Hook Circle to the Bear Mtn Bridge.

Hi I am going to be in West Hampton next week and available to ride on Thursday and Friday.  Saturday I am going to do the Sag Harbor Ride.  That ride leaves from the Bike Shop at 7am although I have to confirm that time. Its a competitive pack ride although there is an easier version.

Its best to ride early but I am flexable in time, place, pace etc.  Let me know - email [email protected] and thanks Dave

Women's Large Escape NYC Jersey - For Sale

Submitted by christapeters on Fri, 07/26/2013 - 8:49am

I purchased a large Escape NYC women's jersey. It is a little too small.

If you're looking to buy one on the site, let me know. I bought it for $80.00 and would like to get my money back (so I can purchase an XL). Just think you won't have to wait the 2 weeks for delivery!

Does anyone have a Bianchi steel road bike that I can stand over?

Submitted by pffddspc on Fri, 07/26/2013 - 8:18am

I am 6 ft. tall and all of a sudden I am enchanted by the idea of a steel frame.  So......Bianchi seems to be what I want.  If I can figure out my frame size, I'm one step closer.  I am not in the mood to go to a bike store (yet), and like Woody Allen, the biggest sin in my religion is to pay retail:)
